Poor Aristide, he had all the right intentions, but none of the big shots that are pulling Haiti's strings wanted to back him up. They had their own interests and Aristide didn't want to play along with them.
This is what he said:
"Nou mete fanm sou nou
Nou mete gason sou nou
Pou nou kapab konbat mizè a
Nou p’ap tolere ensekirite nan peyi a
Mwen vle, mwen deside pou tout Ayisyen viv anpè
Lè w nan plas piblik, fò w santi w alèz
Fò w pa gen kè sote
Fòk zenglendo pa ka vin oze menase w
Peyi a se pou nou l ye
Peyi a se pou nou tout li ye
Ou pa ka deja nan mizè
Enpi pou kounye a, pou kriminèl konprann l’ap fè w viv avèk kè
sote
Nou p’ap tolere sa."

Tell me do you know what happened with Gwo Shiler, ringleader of group of thugs who attacked Titid and his parishioners in Saint John Bosco church?
ReplyDeleteI never followed up with him. But like Jean Claude Duvalier, these thugs end up going into hiding for a few years in an island, living in expensive houses, only to come back to Haiti like if nothing had happened.
DeleteWhat's worst, Haiti welcomes them with open arms. There is no justice in this country.
